Looking at homelessness from a new lens

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOTV) - What if we all took the time to look at homelessness from a new lens? At Mel Trotter Ministries we work hard to approach each unique individual with the compassion of Jesus Christ while understanding at the same time that no one has the same needs.

Instead of asking “what’s wrong with you?” next time you see someone experiencing homelessness, try asking a new question, “What happened to you?” and it might change your perspective. Each individual has a unique story to tell and you may learn that the person you’re talking to isn’t any different than you or me. Learn more about what has happened in our guests’ lives at www.mtmstory.com.
